NEWLY elected George Galloway got back in the swing of life as an MP by setting up office in the Commons canteen.

Gorgeous George performed a trademark act of public defiance after former Labour colleagues dragged their heels in clearing out his office.

Bosses in charge of accommodation at the Palace of Westminster said it wasn’t up to them to find the new member somewhere to put his desk.

So the maverick Respect MP for Bradford West put up a sign on a table in the atrium tearoom of Portcullis House declaring it his new headquarters.

Galloway had earlier marked his return to frontline politics with a typically robust display during Prime Minister’s Questions, left, when he called for British troops to withdraw from “the bloody maw” of Afghanistan before 2014.
